that he was to seek the assassination

Mr.. Curtin says Davis must have

The Herald also points to an inter

that he never heard of attempts TO
assassinate Mr.. Davis, or he doubts
the gepuincness of the letter in which
Mr.. Davis refers TO such attempts.

PTTTsBURG, Pa, July l2.-To the Edi-

me as was leaving my hcmc to come
here. Accept my thanks for it. There
is not one word Of truth n what Is said
to have been stated by JEFF Davis about
me. never pardoned a desperate with
the understanding that he would assas-
sinatc Mr. Davis, and | had
not the money personally and

ward which he states to have been 800
600 During the war represented the
unanimous disposition of the people of
Pennsylvania to maintain the govern
ment by honorable warfare and not by
assassit alton.
Those who know me will not believe
Davis and it is surprising to me that he
should use in such public manner the
information given to him by an anony-
nous correspondent. II has not been
my habit to correct newspaper allega-
tions, but as this is contained by paper

them emphatic contradiction and denial

of the war so far as | had any agency

In an interview Gen. Roger A. Pryor,
who was member of the Confederate
Congress, said that the story of the al

ridiculous on is very face.
"Did on never hear of any such at
tempt?' was asked.
Il never heard of the circumstances
here detailed"
"Do you believe them to be true?"
"No, because do not believe any per-

North would hire an assassin to come
down and kill Mr. Davis, and beceuse |
have no evidence that Mr. Davis made

"Yes, | was in Richmond as member
of the Confederate Congress. The mar
rative does not sound like it comes from
our Davis. He WAS modest man. There
is tone of bragadocia in it that is not
at all characteristic of him. An at
tempt to assassnate the President of
the Confederacy would have been heard
Of and would have shocked the whole
Confederacy. My belief is the article is
fabrication"

THE FRENCH CONTROVERSY.
LONDON, July 12.-The report pub
lished in the Paris Figaro few days
ago of an alleged interview between
the Crown Prince of Russia and the
Comte DE Paris, appears from care
full per.ual of continental press to have
fallen fiat, and entirely failed Of its OBJ
ject as a sensation.
Who is there so silly of European
politics as to believe that the comte
said to the prince Qf he said anything
at ally, that the formation of French
ministry in which Gen. Boulanger
should be a prominent factor would
strain relations between France and
Germany to the point of rapture? If
the crown prince were authorized to
voice the sentiments Of Germany i'll
such manner, or, in fact, in any man
ner, which he is not in possession of
authority to do, he would unquestion-
ably select al entirely different audi
tor. Sending verbal messages sto. the
French government through the
Comte de Paris is quite as ridiculous
as would be all application to Mr.. Par
nell for presentation to the queen, and
no one knows this better than the
crown prince.
The fact is that the ligitimist press
of Paris see their cause so rapidly be-
coming hopeless and its influences so
steadily dying out that they eagerly
seize OH any pretence to bring their
claims or candidate into notice. A
Frencbman out of. France is so speedi-
" forgotten that after lapse of a
few years the tickle multitude would
consider it an impertinence on the
part of the Comte De Paris to oattempt
to recall himselfto their memory. The
So o-called demonstration on the Isle of
Jersey was ludiciously disproportion-
cd to the expectations of the legitim-
lists in the reports of its extent and
enthusiasm manifested were tremendi.
ously exaggerated. There were very
few French men of any Importance
present, while the residents of the
Isle, of course, simply hailed the
occasion as one affording
them an opportunity TO turn
an honest penny, and would have
greeted The advent of circus with
equal qualification, accompanied with
the same rejoicing and display of
holiday also. The most ardent shouters
of" Vine LIE Pol" were English toad
les, who telt the occasion to be one
by which they could bring themsel-
yes into some small notoriety in their
special circles, and whose proudcst
boast will ever be that they have ex-
changed a few words with, or shaken
the hand of the Exile scion Of royalty
This is the verdict of impartial visi-
tors TO the scene, and the opinion is
generally expressed by them, the af-
fair has as little political significance
as horse race or q cricket match.

Their Conversion Into 3 Per Cents.
From AZ Discussed.
PARIS, Nov. 3-The debate on the gov
ernment bill for the conversion of Al per
cent. rentes into 8 per cent. was begun
in the Chamber of Deputies to-day. NJ
Allan, NJ large and NJ Soubeyran admit
ted the expedency of conversion, but
expressed disapproval of the Ministry's
method for bringing it about They declared
that the measure really contemplated a
loan under another name.
NJ Ribot defended the measure, but with
reservations.
NJ. Amagat opposed it,
NJ Rouvier, Prime Minister, said all ac-
cepted the principle of the measure. He
pointed out the advantages to be derived
from the proposed conversion, and said
the government would adhere to the bill as
it stood.
THE CAFFAREL CASE DROPPED.
NJ Sails here presented the report of the
committee appointed to inquire into the
Caffarel scandal The President inquired
whether the Chamber would suspend the
discussion on the financial measure to hear

abolition Of the extraordinary budget for
1885 was impossible, O2t the government

budgets The Prime Minister concluded by
demanding the adoption of the bill. At

solved to convert into a Cabinet question a
debate which should remain purely finan-
cial

he said, would cost the taxpayers nothing

Left1 The government would obtain 160,-

a vote of 344 to 172.

vote of 276 to fol
NJ. Rouvier consented TO reduce the cost

EXPLOSION OF A TORPEDO.
Several Officers and Seamen Have a
Narrow Escape.

NEWPORT, R. l., Nov. 3.-Several officers
and seamen of the torpedo station narrowly
escaped death from a torpedo explosion this
evening. The usual experiments were be-
ing conducted in the harbor near the sta
ton, and several torpedoes had been sue
cessfully fired. The last one was spare
torpedo, and while this was being run out
from the boat in which were seven or
eight officers and men, it suddenly exploded
before it had been immersed i'll the water.
The shock was tremendous, startling the
city and shaking buildings along the'harbor
front. The boat was badly stove, and the
men had to use much exertion to reach the
wharf before she sank. Only two OF the
men were injured, the gunners who were in
the bow of the boat. Both men were badly
wounded in the side, being riddled with
pieces of the torpedo. They also sustained
severe body wounds, and one of them
has a rib broken The injured
men were attended by Surgeon Wise, of the
torpedo station, and were then taken to the
Newport Hospital. The cause of the ex-
plosion is unknown, but it would seem that
the officer in charge of the battery must
have turned the current on too strong, as
the torpedo could not have exploded unless
the battery was on
